<br><br>HG,
<br><br>
<br><br>Okay, so I'm a chicken-salad freak. It's my favorite thing to have for lunch, 
<br><br>but I have a feeling that even the "low-fat" kind has TONS of calories. What 
<br><br>can you tell me about chicken salad? Is there a way to make it guilt-free?

<br><br>Dear CSL,
<br><br>
<br><br>The best advice I can give and most important thing I can say about chicken 
<br><br>salad is this... Pay close attention and read carefully... Come closer... 
<br><br>Breathe and stare at the screen... Count to three. Okay, ready? DO NOT EAT 
<br><br>CHICKEN SALAD UNLESS YOU MAKE IT YOURSELF. There. I said it. Now that 
<br><br>you know this, you're already way ahead of the game. Deli-made chicken 
<br><br>salad, restaurant chicken salad, your aunt's chicken salad, etc. -- they're all 
<br><br>likely to contain a ridiculous amount of calories and fat. Why? Because of 
<br><br>MAYO. Regular mayonnaise is full of fat and calories. And because chicken 
<br><br>salad typically contains A LOT of mayo, even ones made with the low-fat 
<br><br>type can be calorie-packed. And it's just not necessary. So, if you love 
<br><br>chicken salad, just make it yourself -- here are some tips. I'll use something 
<br><br>like fat-free mayo, fat-free Greek yogurt, fat-free sour cream, etc., as a 
<br><br>creamy base. Then I add things like hot sauce, low-fat cheese, mustard, 
<br><br>veggies, and spices to give it lots of flavor. The result is totally delicious, low-
<br><br>calorie chicken salad. There are FOUR chicken-salad recipes in the latest HG 
<br><br>cookbook, Hungry Girl 200 Under 200 -- a Buffalo-wing inspired one, a fruity 
<br><br>Waldorf-type recipe, a Greek-style chicken salad with olives and feta, and a 
<br><br>Chinese chicken salad that's sweet and incredible. You can find one of my 
<br><br>favorites, the Sweet 'n Chunky Chicken Salad, right here. Happy chicken 
<br><br>salading!!!

<br><br>Hungry Girl,
<br><br>
<br><br>I've heard you talk about your so-called "trigger foods." What does this term 
<br><br>mean? Can you explain the concept?
<br><br>
<br><br>Foodie Gurl
<br><br>
<br><br> 
<br><br> 
<br><br>Dear Foodie Gurl,
<br><br> 
<br><br>
<br><br>Understanding the whole "trigger foods" thing is super-important but also 
<br><br>super-easy. Trigger foods are the ones that cause you to eat more -- foods 
<br><br>that make you tailspin into a bit of an eating frenzy. For some, chocolate is a 
<br><br>trigger food -- one bite and they can't stop eating chocolate all day. Not for 
<br><br>me. I can eat a piece of chocolate, be fine, and not crave any more. Other 
<br><br>people say ice cream is a huge trigger food -- they can easily down an entire 
<br><br>pint in one sitting. I'm okay with ice cream. But chips and pretzels are 
<br><br>another story altogether! Give me a handful of salty snacks and it's all over. 
<br><br>I feel the need to inhale an entire bag of 'em without stopping to take a 
<br><br>breath -- VERY dangerous! I always tell people to avoid their trigger foods. If 
<br><br>you stick with foods that satisfy you but don't make you crave more and 
<br><br>more, chances are you'll be safe from overeating. It's really that simple. Do 
<br><br>you know what your trigger foods are? CLICK HERE NOW to see a brand-
<br><br>new "Hungryvision" video all about trigger foods, featuring the HG staff and 
<br><br>me. Watch it, learn more about trigger foods, and find out how you could win 
<br><br>cool HG stuff. REALLY, DO IT! And if you're still not sure what your trigger 
<br><br>foods are, try writing down everything you eat for a week and see if the 
<br><br>answer is a little clearer after that.
